Encourage repeat business with a "thank you" promotion code. Once your customer buys the required minimum, they'll not only receive a % discount on the promotional product, but they'll get a NEW promo code emailed to them.
This means they can return to purchase more of the same products at the promotional price, without having to meet the minimum quantity again.


 

 

Excerpt

Have you ever ordered pizza online and and been offered garlic bread for $1 when you buy 2 or more pizzas? Well that's essentially how this one works.

You can specify that when a customer orders product X (in the quantity you specify), they can also order product Y at a discounted price, using your promo code.

Excerpt

With this promo type, you can create offers where you can give customers buying a set number of one Product a discount on a set number of the same Product or a different Product. You can also use this promo code with a Product with variants. 

 

This Product promo code allows you to give customers a discounted price for a specified quantity (Y) of a product when they buy a certain number (X) of a specific product. You can work this promo in different ways. One is some variation of the 'buy two pizzas, get one garlic bread at a discounted price'. Another is the ''buy two pairs of glasses, get one at the discounted price' offer. It can also be used with Master products so that all child products are automatically included. (See Special use with Master product below.)

Special use with Master and Child products (variants)

Master products are products that have child products (variants). (For details on how they work, see the Product Variants page.)


You can use this promo code type with products in a Master/Child relationship in various ways. For example, 'buy any 2 variant products in a Master product range and get 1 at a discounted price' - 'buy any 3 large pizzas in our premium range and get 1 for $10'. Or 'buy 3 of a specific product and get 1 different product (any variant of a Master product) at a discount' - 'buy 3 pizzas and get 1 2L softdrink for $1'.


Use Case

In the use case here, our store sells medical garb and wants to use the promo code to encourage the purchase of matching tunic and trousers. For the promotion, the trousers has been enabled as a Master product. It, along with the matching tunic, are added as Child products.  A customer must buy one of each to get the tunic at a discount price.

  3. Click Save and Exit. The promo is active from the start date to the end date.

Let's say your customer adds the eligible product to their order, in this case, the medical scrub trousers, and also adds the matching tunic. In the Shopping Cart, before adding the promo code, the normal prices are displayed. After applying the promo code, the special price on the discount product is calculated.
Note - your customer could have also brought up the discount by adding just the correct number of eligible products, going straight to the Shopping Cart, and entering the promo code.
